Doctors are not taught to reason, they are programmed to believe in whatever their medical schools teach them and the leading doctors tell them.

The relationships we have with our doctors are often the most trusted relationships of our lives. Our doctors tell us hard truths that others will not.

In the Swiss government there is a will to limit the number of doctors themselves, because with new bilateral agreements with the European Union, there is what we call the "free flow of persons"; that our borders are open to immigration. And as the Swiss doctors are better paid than others, we could have a huge increase of immigration of doctors, more than we need. So we decided to limit the numbers of doctors coming into Switzerland. It is not a very intelligent system, but it is the best one that we have found to limit immigration of doctors.
